Another commercial LinuxMCE variant

[hari]

If you're interested in a commercial variant of LinuxMCE, you now have another choice besides Dianemo: Schneider Electronics/Merten Uniq. Some pictures:







It only supports KNX for now but from what I know it is well integrated and has a few additions on top of the LinuxMCE stack (the Orbiter was enhanced). You can also run a version that is integrated in a panel.

Very nice!  I like the additions to the orbiter display.

Question:  Licencing is typically a very touchy subject around here and most people seem unwilling to discuss it.  But, would the licencing require (as GPL requires) the release of source changes/upgrades on request?  Or are these changes isolated from the public now?

they did exclusively license the whole stack from the new copyright holders (who bought all rights from Plutohome)

Who are the new owners? And what is the name of the woman?

Looks very nice and interesting.

Where is this available (like a link), how much cost and what additional options?


Thanks

It is available in Europe. Google for merten uniq eur to find out the pricing. Be sure to sit on a stable chair with some arm rests.

Would it be possible to post a link.  maybe its me but i'm having a hard time find anything other that "we offer this system" on SE's website but no details.  I wonder if it is because i am coming from the US.

As well, I can't seem to find any pricing

[Marie.O]

Looking at the merten catalogue shows a price of 2300EUR for the Merten Uniq Server Basic, and 3500EUR for the Merten Uniq Server Pro, each price without VAT.

I did contact Merten and they told me not yet on the market and that the announcement was made to early...

[microbrain]

That would explain why I didn't find it when I did a search...

Did you also ask what their take is on the linuxmce project?

Sehr geehrter Herr Wollny,

leider ist dieses Produkt mit dem Namen "UNIQ" immer noch in einer frühen Entwicklungsphase und eine Markteinführung noch nicht ansatzweise in Sicht.
Die verfügbaren Prospekte wurden leider zu früh in Umlauf gebracht.

Sorry!


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

Dear Wollny

Unfortunately, this product called "UNIQ" is still in an early stage of development and a market not yet in sight to some extent.
Available brochures were brought unfortunately too early in circulation.

Sorry!
Sincerely / best regards

Has  Merten Uniq ever been released as a final product or abandoned?
